Quality

This as well.
Features
What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could?
This comment may be redundant but he best feature of this harmonizer is the harmony sound(s) and the ease of attaining said harmony. It is the ONLY harmonizer I've ever used that is literally plug and play. Never has any processor passed my plug and play acid test, This is a first. Factory presets are notoriously useless in my opinion. Not so with this one. If I could change anything about this product I would add more user preset store locations for custom patches and maybe dedicated pitch correction even though I haven't yet had the need for more storage.
Ease of Use
How easy is this product to use? How easy is the product to use with other products? Did it take long for you to learn to use this product? Was the manual helpful? How playable do you consider this product to be?
If one has any experience at all with processing equipment this unit is a "no brainer" If one has never used any kind of gear other than a guitar, amp and cable just one quick flip through the "Quick start" section of the manual and the factory presets will put them in harmony heaven. It is so simple.
Sound
How is its Tone?
I think I've pretty much covered this already. Feel free to email me if you have any questions concerning this product.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I have had it less than a month but it is obviously a well built piece of gear and it is TC Helicon after all. I'm not worried.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
If you are a singing guitarist (even just a backup vocals) in a band or a one man show - BUY IT!!! You do not yet realize that you can't live without it. I sing half of the lead vocals in a rockin' cover band. We have a female vocalist who sings the other half or more. All of my band mates were very skeptical when I showed up for rehearsal with this gadget until I started nailing all of the high harmonies with such realistic sound quality. We'd been missing some previously in many of the female vocal tunes i.e. Heart, Paramore, ect. The icing on the cake was pulling off Amiee Mann's part in the Rush tune "Time Stand Still" from their album "Hold Your Fire" I'm not female and the part is one voice so I just dialed in one voice, high octave, then cranked up the harmony volume higher than my voice and Viola! SWEET! PERFECT! BELIEVE IT!
